While some of our local baranggays are no longer provided the "golden" confirmatory test (RTPCR) for COVID-19, by the government (for 4months & counting now), nobody really knows how many undocumented positive cases there are now. Even when the pandemic is still ongoing.
(Check your local baranggays now to confirm)
Students from schools are getting infected and some employees that are returning back to the offices too.
And the severity of COVID-19 to infants and toddlers is as virulent as the first variant.
Seizures, strokes, convulsions happens.
All these has been documented on clinical trials.
Please do not be complacent, even if the government is.
Stay vigilant & always watch out for the common signs & symptoms.
If in doubt, get an Antigen test to confirm asap.

In life threatening situations, prepare to have a backup transportation option. Get ready to get in the car with someone with you & the patient, or book a Grab or call a taxi ASAP. As the ambulance for the emergency hotline might take awhile to get to you.
